As part of its Amending America initiative, the National Archives and Records Administration presents a National Conversation on Educational Access and Equity at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, on March 7, 2017.

From school choice to standardized testing, public education in the United States continues to be hotly debated at the state and national levels. Join us as we debate some of the most critical issues in front of our nation today with experts and activists discussing topics ranging from the modern American school system to equal access to education.

The “National Conversation on Rights and Justice” in Dallas is presented in part by AT&T, Ford Foundation, Seedlings Foundation, and the National Archives Foundation.
